Mar. 13th, 2007 10:22 pmI'm baaaaaaaack.
Oh computer, my Juanita, it is tragic how much I missed you and your cracked black case. You are my favourite.
Ahem.
Anyway, yeah, hit me up with what I missed, and many thanks for the advice in the last post, I really really really appreciate it and now have lots of good ideas.
What I did with my spare time: watched half of the first season of Dead Zone - verdict: enjoyable but I probably won't bother with the rest; the first disc of S5 of Friends, verdict: 100% predictable; The Devil Wears Prada, verdict: ditto but I like Anne Hathaway; The first season and a half (SO FAR) of Veronica Mars, verdict: awesome. I also, like, did some homework.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: can anyone remind me of semi-famous recent child abuse cases here in NZ? Obviously, James Whakaruru and the Kahui twins; I'd also be really keen to get my hands on any cases reported where the "discipline" was obviously unreasonable but the parent or caregiver was acquitted.
And on that subject: in the last year, New Zealand's child abuse rate went up 7%. Maybe that's an increase in reporting rather than in actual violence; I really, really hope so. But maybe not. We have a problem in taking care of our children. I believe it is vital that we take steps to remedy this and I believe Sue Bradford's current member's bill is at least a step in the right direction. Write to your MP and tell them so if you agree, please?
